Please note, hotels within Beaver Creek charge overnight guests for parking. The per night fee ranges from $15 - $30, however, you can utilize the complimentary lot at the base of Beaver Creek. To access this lot, drive through the gates of Beaver Creek and then take an immediate right towards the parking lot.
The parking shuttle bus runs every ten minutes between the lots and the covered bridge in Beaver Creek Village. Guests will need to take a connecting shuttle from the covered bridge to the hotels. You can wait for a scheduled pickup at the covered bridge, or ask the parking shuttle driver to page the on-call shuttle service. The on-call shuttle picks up at the Centenntial station, located 75 yards up from the covered bridge. There is also a phone at the Centennial station to contact the on-demand shuttle service.

There are a couple options for airports....either the Eagle-Vail (EGE) airport located about 30 miles west of Beaver Creek, or Denver International Airport (DEN).
Unless you can find a direct flight into Eagle-Vail, it is generally faster and cheaper to just fly into Denver and drive up to Beaver Creek. Because Beaver Creek offers complimentary shuttles within the resort, you might consider a mountain shuttle service in lieu of rental car. Airport shuttle options include: Colorado Mountain Express or All Mountain Transportation.
Denver International Airport (DIA) serves as the hub for both Frontier and United Airlines, so you can usually find affordable and direct flights on those carriers. I personally think Frontier is fantastic, and they even have little TV's on the back of every screen. But you sure can't beat the pilots on American!
I have also arranged for a group discount on Midwest Airlines, please follow that link or call 1-800-452-2022 for reservations and mention the discount code CMZ4330.
